摘要

Authors Gregory G. White and Thomas F. King provide a thorough and practical manual for the survey component of archaeological fieldwork. The manual is particularly valuable for individuals just beginning their foray into survey fieldwork. It should be noted, however, that the manual is also potentially useful for professionals, either as a means for brushing up on the basics or as a reminder of information that could be pertinent for beginning survey team members. The Archaeological Survey Manual is organized into four sections: Introduction, Equipment, Field Work, and Professionalism. The organization of the manual is logical and makes for quick referencing when specific information is needed. In addition, White and King provide simple, vivid illustrations throughout, which amply describe and demonstrate the equipment and methods discussed in the chapters. As an added bonus, the Appendices include useful website references as well as forms that can be duplicated and used in the field.
